I don't know about you all but TGIF! for me I'm so ready for this weekend.
Then again I say that every weekend. he he I think I just live for weekends.
Someday maybe I'll enjoy what I do so much I won't just be a slave for the weekend.
So in honor of the weekend and my upcoming 150th post I'm at 147 right now.
I'm going to host an ask me anything. I've seen a couple of my blog friends do this and I always think it's neat to find out what people really want to know about you.
So Ask me anything in the comments below and next week on my 150th post on Tuesday I will post the answers.
ASK AWAY!!!
Love,
Mrs. A

Thursday Thoughts
Today is my big sister's birthday we're not celebrating til Saturday because well she's a tax acct. and doesn't exactly get the day off but I wanted to acknowledge that today is the day. So Happy Birthday Sis!!
I actually finally signed up for cake decorating classes and I start on Sunday I can't wait and I'm so excited!!! Be prepared to see my practice cakes in pictures no matter how bad they are.
I don't feel like I have much to write about today last night I had a team Relay meeting but nothing was really set in stone so I feel kind of out in limbo at the moment.
Maybe I'll be imspired to write more and better later.
Sorry for the short non-sense post :(

What's going on in my head Wednesday
I heard a song on the radio this morning and was late to work because I literally had to pull over because I was blinded by tears. It hit me so hard I felt like God was punching me in the stomach saying this is especially for you now please listen.
The song is "The Motions" by Matthew West.
Lyrics:
"This might hurt, It’s not safe, But I know that I got to make a change, I don’t care if I break, Least I’ll be feeling something,
Because just okay, is not enough, Help me fight through the nothingness of this life,
I don’t want to go through the motions, I don’t want to go one more day, Without Your all consuming, Passion inside of me, I don’t want to spend my whole life askin’, What if I had given everything? Instead of going through the motions,
No regrets, not this time, Gonna let me heart defeat my mind, Let your love make me whole, I think I’m finally feeling something,
Because Just okay, is not enough, Help me fight through the nothingness of this life,
Cause I, don’t want to go through the motions, I don’t want to go one more day, Without Your all consuming, Passion inside of me, I don’t want to spend my whole life askin’, What if I had given everything? Instead of going through the motions,
(Take me all the way), Take me all the way, (Take me all the way), Because I don’t want to go through the motions, (Take me all the way), Now I’m finally feeling something, (Take me all the way)
I don’t want to go through the motions"
Powerful words huh?
This song literally made me bawl my eyes out because the truth of the matter is I've been skating by on just reading my Bible and going to church and my heart has been telling me for a while it's not enough.
Sure I have prayer time but I don't really focus on being in God's presence. I don't want to be just another church going Christian. I want to be on fire for the Lord. I've been hitting my snooze button in the mornings instead of getting up and doing my devotional and I've been neglecting my prayer life. I've been using the excuses of we don't have a church home and I have insomnia to get out of doing my part in furthering my Christian walk. I often sit back and wait for God to do great things for me when I should be pursuing Him and asking what great things can I do for You?
Nothing like a song on the radio that makes you cry your eyes out to realize that God is speaking to you. Sometimes I believe that God knows at times (more often than I would like to admit)this is the only way to truly shake me.
Do any of you ever have moments like that where you feel as though God is hitting you over the head with something and say hey you listen to me!!!
I am making the choice today to not hit snooze in the morning and truly take my mornings to be in His presence, and to ask what great things can I do for my Great God?
"The early hours are of particular importance in shaping our day. Morning is a holy time. A chance to start again. A time to expect the best from God. An opportunity to search for and focus on the good news:

Tuesday Randomness
Last night was so relaxing and something I desperately needed it was nice that my only responsibility was to come home do light upkeep type housework and enjoy dinner with Jeremy. In addition to those things I also on my lunch break yesterday had stopped by the Dollar Store that's close to my job to pick up some St. Patrick's Decorations now I have festive decorations on my kitchen and coffee tables. I will take pictures tonight.
I got to brush up on my driving skills a bit before dinner with some MarioKart which was fun but I kept running off cliffs thank goodness I'm not that bad of a driver in real life.
Oh and the best part last night I got the best night's sleep I've had in months with no sleeping medication it was glorious and even though I lingered slightly too long in bed this morning I should've got up when my alarm went off I still woke up for the most part feeling rested and ready to take on the day. There isn't much I wouldn't give to have that feeling everyday.
This is shaping up to be a great week and God's goodness is so evident to me in times like this when I just feel at peace.
Don't get me wrong I love my hectic fast paced life most of the time but sometimes it's nice just to slow down for a while.
More Later.....

weekend re-cap and Monday goals
Well my weekend was very productive and I hope all of yours were too.
I got our apartment all rearranged and now it feels humongous which is a good thing since even though I really dislike it looks like we'll be there for a while unless God plops something in my lap.
I got all of my laundry caught up
scrubbed my kitchen from top to bottom
vacuumed all of my floors and baseboards
scrubbed my bathroom floors still have to do the counters
re-organized the closets
changed laundered and ironed the sheets on my bed
and dusted every bookcase nook and cranny that could possible collect dust.
We got to also have a bit of fun this weekend when we got our tax return we decided to split it between savings and a fun purchase so here's what we bought this weekend.
along with
I'm not usually a fan of video games in general.So I was a little nervous when Mr. A suggested we purchase one of these, but I have to admit I have had a blast playing the sports and racing in MarioKart. It's a fun evening activity that we can do together. Instead of the usual me scrapping or crafting and him writing or playing his other video games.
I am feeling quite good about the week ahead and after a few weeks of crazy busyness and non stop meetings. I am ready for a quiet week at home. Although I have to admit it started out bad with dizziness, and nosebleeds. I'm not sure what the cause of that was but the day is turning out to be not that bad.
Weekly Goals:
Now that the apartment is clean keep it that way by doing a nightly pick up
keep up with morning Bible study time
eat at home all week
finish the March budget
now that the table is clean eat at the table at least twice a week again
rest!!
I only have one free week for a while so I plan on enjoying it to the fullest.
Tonight is my guilty pleasure TV show "Heroes" and I plan on playing lots of Wii games.
Hope you all have a fabulous week.
Love,
Mrs. A
